Today’s Cabernet – Screw Caps from Down Under

Tonight’s blog was fueled by a glass of 2007 Jester Vintage Cabernet Sauvignon from Mitolo Wines in Australia. It was recommended at Seasons Bistro, my new favorite wine bar in Eagle. I was skeptical because of the screw top because I’m a cork snob. Don’t you just love that exciting pop of a cork? Why mess with something that has worked well for centuries? Well, the bottle was only $21 so I gave it a try. Surprisingly pleasant. I guess I’ll just have to keep tasting other non-corked wines. This is serious market research.
